I have alot of splash cymbals and I have heard hundreds of these things over the years. I just bought an 8" and a 12" Wuhan Splash cymbals and they are of the same quality as cymbals that are hundreds of dollars. Don't hesitate you are getting way more than you're moneys worth, trust me. Everyone should go and buy some.

You can find them on ebay for very cheap, very regularly. I bought mine there for $18 each, as a package of 2, and shipping was $10, so they cost me $23 each after shipping.

I got a 16 and 18 for $40 - considering I spent more than $100 for my AA, and the 18" Wuhan was the choice for recording, you really can't go wrong (unless you buy one of the ones that explode after 3 days...)

I am a much bigger fan of their "effect" type cymbals, like their splashes and chinas, then I am of the other ones like crashes and hi-hats. Maybe it's just their cheap price or something, but I'd take a Wuhan splash or china over almost any other brand. Not so much on their rides/crashed/hi-hats though.

Unfortunately, part of the reason they are cheaper is because they are NOT of the same quality as those from the bigger companies. The bronze is not of as high a quality and the manufacturing techniques and production steps are not as highly refined. This can be seen in the reduced durability of these cymbals overall.

Dont get me wrong, they are awesome cymbals for what you get, but to say they are the same quality as those that cost twice the price is not correct.

I wouldn't agree either that they are of more "quality" then the more expensive cymbals, but their sound quality is on par with those more expensive ones, in my opinion. I'd much rather pay 20-30 dollars for a china instead of hundreds more for a sound that is very comparable.

I gotta say I love Wuhan's china cymbals. Going to the store to pick one of these cymbals out is like an adventure. They are insanely cheap so regardless of where you go the store always has a stack 5 feet high of these in all different sizes. The best part is setting up a stand and hitting them all and listening to how different they all sound. The range of sound between the cymbals regardless of size is pretty incredible, and I haven't had one break yet

The splashes have absolutely no presence. They sound so weak, as you can hear in bill's audio. I can see how some people may like the chinas, but they're not my thing at all. TOO trashy, too quick, too blech.

Me too. I've been using mine for years as a primary crash (oddly enough) just cuz I can't afford a "real" crash. I love the sound of it, and mine sounds a lot different than what billdrum posted. I also have a 12" china that came bundled with the crash for like $30 which sounds decent.

I'm definitely going to be buying some of these. I recently cracked a my eons old pst 3 - im broke as anything though. Natural choice until I get a job --> wuhan. Besides that, I need some more effects cymbals.

I love Wuhan. Their splashes and china's are great. I've got an 18" China that sounded fantastic, then it cracked, and it still sounds awesome. Very trashy and quick, as you'd expect, but I'm still able to utilize it in my kit brilliantly.

Unforunately I haven't tried out their hats and crashes yet, but I do plan on it.

Wuhan are pretty overrated... try out a k custom china and then compare...

If you are breaking them you suck at having any sort of touch, though

i think what people are saying is they arent intended to even match or surpass the higher brand of cymbals, but they sound great for what they are, and because of the shape of chinas they take a hell of a beating and will eventually crack regardless of finesse if you really want to open the tone of the cymbal, and because of the lower quality materials they will definitely crack before a k,z, or a,...if you cannot afford a higher brand at the time a wuhan is a great way to go...
